PGH New Jersey Recruiting Update: 10/25

<p>It turns out we do completely miss commitments when they happen because there's one from late August that we failed to shout out. We'll be doing so in this article, as well as talking about three other player commitments and a Division I offer. As always, please tag us on social media (Twitter @PGHNewJersey) with any offers, visits or player commitments. If anything happens outside of Twitter, feel free to DM us to notify.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='488673' first='Iyanna' last='Cotten'] - Franklin (2024) commits to Saint Peter's (late August)</h2>   <p>Franklin senior [player_tooltip player_id='488673' first='Iyanna' last='Cotten'] must have gotten under our noses with her college commitment because following an offer from Saint Peter's earlier in the summer, just before the school year began, she committed to the Peacocks.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/10/F4YUdIEXcAEklW-.jpg?w=819" alt="" class="wp-image-794693" /></figure>   <p>This is a complete misstep on our part because we've been following her progress for some time now. It's great to see another prospect in the state heading to play for a Division I program, especially one in-state. Following a career year for her with 12.8 PPG 5.3 RPG and 3.4 APG, she's more than ready to start balling out at the next level.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='325196' first='Grace' last='Kinum'] - New Providence (2024) commits to Bowdoin College</h2>   <p>It's been a long time coming for the New Providence senior, but earlier this week, guard [player_tooltip player_id='325196' first='Grace' last='Kinum'] announced her verbal commitment to Bowdoin College.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/10/F9Om_JGakAEQm80.jpg?w=811" alt="" class="wp-image-794702" /></figure>   <p>She's been the go-to player for the Pioneers over the past two years, averaging well over four assists a game and around 13 points a game during that time. She's been one of the more complete guards we've seen in the 2024 class, a truly balanced player with a number of intangibles that pop. Her senior year is expected to be one filled with accolades, no doubt.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Caroline Lundy - St. John Vianney (2024) commits to Wilkes University (early October)</h2>   <p>Earlier this month, St. John Vianney senior Caroline Lundy joined the list of Class of 2024 prospects who committed to play at the next level as she verbally committed to Wilkes University.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/10/F8BkUdmW8AAbxDF.jpg?w=819" alt="" class="wp-image-794733" /></figure>   <p>Lundy played her first season with the Lancers last season, coming off the bench with limited playing time, but she's gotten plenty of exposure, playing time and growth as a player with [program_tooltip program_id='714654' first='NJ' last='Shoreshots']. This past summer was a key one for her overall development, coming off a year-long injury that sidelined her into the middle of 2022. She's at as full strength as we've seen her, and she's ready to take on a bigger role as a senior.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='333551' first='Janaya' last='Meyers'] - Bayonne (2025) offered by Quinnipiac</h2>   <p>Our line collegiate offer and lone non-senior of this article, Bayonne junior [player_tooltip player_id='333551' first='Janaya' last='Meyers'] was back in the recruiting sphere this week, earning an offer from DI program Quinnipiac.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/10/F9F401GWMAAk3LX.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-794734" /></figure>   <p>Meyers was a key piece to an eventual state championship winning team in the Bees last season, and her knowledge of the game, plus her maturity in the backcourt has made ripples throughout the team. Her sophomore year was a breakout year for her, and now, her junior year has the potential to be all-conference, all-region, all-state quality.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='792359' first='Mia' last='Hartman'] - Princeton Day (2024) commits to Drew University</h2>   <p>Princeton Day senior [player_tooltip player_id='792359' first='Mia' last='Hartman'] was the first person to pop up on our latest radar as we put together this recruiting update, verbally committing to Drew University on Sunday.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prepgirlshoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2023/10/F9Ds85GXUAAEyls.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-794735" style="aspect-ratio:0.8928176795580111;width:793px;height:auto" /></figure>   <p>Her junior season really put herself on the map, especially to college scouts, as she shined in 16 games, scoring nearly 14 points a game. While still a relatively small sample size and just 31 total high school games played to this point, the skills and potential is without a doubt there. Hartman has shot the three well over the past two years, 1.4 threes per game as a junior, and she doesn't seem to be slowing down at all.</p>
